    Measured: 2 hours after dosing

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Number of Treated Subjects Who Became Pain-free (International Headache Society Grade of 0 = no Pain) by Observation Time Point. (time frame: 2 hours after dosing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
